The First Certified ADS-B Solution to Integrate with ForeFlight

April 21, 2015 - Waco, TX - FreeFlight Systems announced today that the Company’s certified ADS-B In systems have joined the ForeFlight Connect program. For the first time, the leading ADS-B app and the popular ADS-B solution are collaborating to deliver the highest quality customer experience available.
